In a completely different train of thought, I can’t remember if I mentioned my hoe-bag roomie (link is totally NSFW) has decided to move to New York. He leaves on the 30th for a month to see if he can find work. He keeps telling me he hasn’t decided for sure yet but it is pretty obvious he is planning on moving. I haven’t decided if I plan to replace him yet. The extra money is nice but I’ve reached an age where the thought of having a complete stranger live w/me isn’t overly appealing. A couple of his friends have expressed an interest but we’ll see.
Considering I recently forked over $2500 in fees relating to the land my Dad left my brothers and I, I probably should consider a roomie for awhile. I’ll probably have to fork over another 3Gs to finish everything. I’m not the least bit happy but we are fast approaching a legal deadline to complete the transition. If I didn’t pony up the dough, the land could have gone into a sort of legal limbo status that could take years to sort out.
Needless to say, yours truly will be broke for awhile. Even worse, courtesy of George “Dumbass” Bush, the taxes on my bracket have gone up. I’m sure our new leader-in-competence will sort it all out however, that doesn’t help me this year. I just keep telling myself I’m grateful to have a job. I know many aren’t doing so well right now and things will get worse before they get better.
Your hot roomie is moving to New York?! Well, son of a bitch! He needs to come back to Louisiana where he belongs. Even though I am WAY YOUNGER, I could be his Daddy.
Good luck for finding a new roommate and dealing with the land your dad left to you. And you are right about having a job, that's the best thing you can ask for in this kind of bad economy.
Good luck with it all!
That's your roommate? DAY-UM! I may have to take a train ride down to NYC from Boston!
Don't worry about being broke – you get used to it after awhile. I'm so po, I can't even afford the last two letters of the word "poor".
I think we should start a "find Moby a porn star roommate" program… just any old roommate won't do! Heck, for that matter we could sell the rights to MTV and they could make it a reality show about it.
I think you should open the "Moby Bed and Bath." Except your guests have to come clean your bathroom, do your laundry, and wait on you when you get home from work.
You need a roomie? 🙂 Tax time SUCKS especially for a single person.
Interesting…I had no idea that THAT was your roommate. If he wants to move to Ohio, I've got an orifice–er, I mean room he could have.
